New Delhi: india defender Anwar Ali has appealed to the All india Football Federation (AIFF) to quickly resolve the long-running transfer dispute surrounding his move from Mohun Bagan to East Bengal. His request comes shortly after Mohun Bagan themselves sought an urgent intervention from the federation, highlighting how the ongoing tussle has created uncertainty for both the club and the player.

 A Prolonged Dispute Affecting Player & Clubs

The transfer saga has dragged on for weeks, with both clubs presenting conflicting claims over the player’s contractual status.

  • Mohun Bagan insists the player remains under contract.
  • East bengal claims the signing was made following all required procedures.

The unresolved situation has prevented a smooth transition and has kept the player’s participation in upcoming fixtures uncertain.

🗣️ Anwar ali Urges AIFF for Quick Intervention

Anwar ali has now personally stepped in, urging the national governing body to offer a clear and speedy decision, stressing that:

  • His professional career is being impacted
  • The delay is causing mental and operational pressure
  • A timely verdict is crucial for him to focus solely on football

Ali has maintained that he wants the issue resolved “as soon as possible” so he can play without administrative hurdles.

🟢 Mohun Bagan Earlier Submitted Their Appeal

Earlier this week, Mohun Bagan filed a formal request to the AIFF to settle the dispute, noting that prolonged confusion benefits neither club nor player.

Both sides now look to the AIFF for a decisive ruling.

🏆 Why the Decision Matters for the Season Ahead

The upcoming fixtures for both ISL clubs make this decision critical. A resolution will determine:

  • Ali’s eligibility for east Bengal
  • Squad composition for Mohun Bagan
  • Transfer norms and precedents for future cases
  • Player welfare and contractual clarity

📌 What Happens Next?

The AIFF Player Status Committee is expected to review submissions from all parties and announce a decision soon. A quick verdict would help stabilize the situation and allow team preparations to continue without further disruption.
